If you've recently graduated or left school, then you'll know how difficult it is to find a job.

You might send out a hundred CVs and not get one response, which can leave you feeling pretty deflated.

That's what happened to Jessica Anderson, a 20-year-old graduate who studied at the University of Edinburgh. She told the Metro that she sent out over 150 CVs (to no avail) after she moved to London to find work experience.

She saved up throughout most of her college life so she could move to London, yet with the lack of job offers, she took a very different route to find work.

"I felt totally de-motivated, she told the paper. "Then I just thought – there are over 8 million people in London right now, a lot will be using Tinder – and maybe some of those using Tinder will know of opportunities or have contacts to help me."

Yep, TINDER. Instead of selfies and pictures of herself, she uploaded screenshots of her CV.

Jessica thought it would be a great way to get her CV out there – and she was right. In one day alone, she received over 500 messages, from people advising her on how to network, to others offering tips and tricks of the trade.

"I’m now in contact with different people working for organisations such as BBC and Sony and a big response from people working in marketing. A lot of people want to help and are impressed that it is a random but innovative way to find a job," she said.

Jessica is currently in talks with a few companies but said she doesn't have her heart set on one job just yet.

"My dream would be to gain work experience in broadcasting, but I’m ready for a challenge and would love to be involved in an internship over the summer where I can learn a lot from it. Watch this space."

We're still not quite recovered, frankly.

Tinder users were dealt a swift kick right in the stomach last night when the app went down unexpectedly, taking with it all details of former matches.

That lad you were counting on for a cheeky shift on Paddy's night? Gone. The possibly-maybe-could-be-a-thing match you'd been flirting with for weeks? Gone. The one ridiculously inapproporiate chat you always look back over when you need a belly laugh? GONE.

Yup, the online dating app went down for a full five hours last night, and people were not coping very well at all. While the outage seemed to be worldwide, the time of day meant that users in Ireland, the UK and Europe really felt it most.

Thankfully, service was back up by midnight, but if you still can't see your matches, the folks at Tinder recommend logging out and logging back in.

Order was restored.

Never leave us again, Tinder.

Usually TV stars have no bother finding a little romance in their lives – but not for Ollie Locke.

The Made In Chelsea star has joined the dating app, Tinder in a bid to find the perfect partner.

The reality star flies under the name Obba and kept his profile quite simple, just saying, "A Londoner working in TV and writing around the world."

According to the Daily Star Online, Ollie has a few steamy snaps on his profile in hopes a special person might swipe right.

One photo sees him relaxing in bed with his pet dog and another is of him pouting in bed again but this time he's topless.

Mr Locke came out as bisexual on the E4 reality show but has proven unlucky in love after a number of failed relationships.

Hopefully he'll find true love on Tinder.

Do you reckon you know your best friend's taste in an other half better than she does?

Well, Tinder is currently testing out a new feature that will allow you to recommend the profiles of potential matches that you think your pal would just adore. 

The beloved dating app is making plans for a button that will allow you to share a profile with another pal who is on the app. 

That friend will then be able to log into their own account and swipe yes or no to their friend's recommended profile. 

"We are testing the ability to play matchmaker on Tinder," the company wrote in a blog post.

"While swiping through potential matches, a small group of users may see the option to share a profile they come across."

Once you click the share button on a match you think would suit your pal, the app will generate a link to that profile which will be sharabke via text and perhaps instant messaging services such as WhatsApp. 

The link will then expire after 5 clicks or 72 hours. 

It will be so nice to take the credit for all of our friends' blossoming relationships from here on out.

It seems that if you're a pilot or a physical therapist, you're in luck for finding love on Tinder.

The dating app carried out a survey and found that these professions are the most popular for men and women and receive the most right swipes.

For men, pilots take the top spot, followed by entrepreneurs, firefighters, doctors and TV/radio presenters.

And for women, the most popular swiped right job is a physical therapist, followed by interior designers, entrepreneurs, PR workers and teachers.

Students are also high on the list, coming in the tenth most swiped right for men and sixth for women.

The survey also found that more and more people are looking for long-term relationships on the app rather than just a casual fling.

"We just conducted a survey of over 300,000 of our users. What we found was over 80% of people on Tinder are there to find a long-term relationship," said chief executive of the app, Sean Rad. 

Time for a career change? We think so.

Finding The One can be a tough slog. As can finding The One You Want To Vote For.

Well, now you can combine those two searches (kinda) with one app – TDer. Like Tinder, you can swipe through profiles of different men and women looking to get your attention and fill your ears with sweet nothings.

Unlike Tinder, they don't want to date you. They just want your vote.

Okay, Irish digital agency Friday might have been having some cheeky fun when they invented TDer, with its Tinder-esque profile for each General Election candidate, but we reeeally wish it was real.

After all, who could say no to this beautiful face (and mountain of chest hair)?

Or Mr. Inda Kinny himself?

Joan also gets a look-in…

Oh, and she liked us back:

Gerry got his pet goat in for his profile pic…

And Lucinda's still looking for love…

Check out TDer yourself here, and who knows, you could find your (political) match.

A man has been charged in New York for allegedly managing to con two separate women he met on a dating app out of over 26,000 dollars. 

The 35-year-old used the ever-popular Tinder to meet his victims, claiming that he was a Goldman Sachs banker. 

Yep, Brandon Kiehm played the part of a successful New York businessman in order to lure women into dating him. 

He would then see his targeted women for as long as several months before asking them for money. 

According to court transcripts, Brandon told the first women that "his sister was undergoing cancer treatment and because his wallet had been stolen."

He gave the same line to a second women whom he had been dating only a mere matter of weeks. Both women gave the con-artist over ten thousand dollars each. 

It was only when Brandon tried to pay the women back that it became painfully obvious they had been the victim of a total Tinder scam. 

According to police, the cheques were paid from closed bank accounts and Brandon's mother did not have cancer… obviously. 

Brandon, who is actually a dogwalker not a banker, is now facing several counts of felony and intention to fraud.

Since we were young in school the 1916 Rising and Michael Collins were two things that were drilled into our brains.

And with the 1916 commemorations in full swing, it seems to be something on everyone's minds at the moment.

As you can see, Irish guys aren't the best with chat-up lines (Niall Horan can hardly even string one together).

So, Tom decided to use a very cheeky, yet patriotic chat-up line while trying to woo Shauna on Tinder.

As shown, Tom's first attempt to talk to his lady in October failed, but as Joe.ie noticed, he certainly bounced back with his one-liner:

Fair play Tom. We think a round of applause us needed.

If you've been swiping on Tinder and matching on POF to no avail, it could be time to call in the big guns.

By which we of course mean Ryan Tubridy. And The Late Late Show.

This February, RTÉ is bringing back the Late Late Valentine's Special, with the hope of sparking some looove amongst the audience members at Montrose.

If you're "not camera shy, up for a laugh and looking for love," you can apply for tickets to be an audience member on the February 12 show via the RTÉ website now.

And no, you can't go along as a wingman/wingwoman for your single friends – this is a call-out for people who are "definitely" single, a statement from RTÉ says.

"Last year was great fun – there was a palpable excitement in the studio," said Ryan of the decision to do a match-making show again this year. 

"I’m really looking forward to some great guests and to bringing in a new batch of singles."

Who knows, you could witness first-hand another celebrity gaffe of Ronan O'Gara's "I wouldn't be nervous getting up on Jessica" proportions, as happened on last year's Valentine's Special:

Only in Ireland.

Finally! A dating app to find guys who look like Channing Tatum and have a six-pack like Zac Efron!

SWEATT is the new dating app for fitness lovers, and it's the hot new thing, indeed.

Not only can you display whether you're into triathlons or just a devout yogi, you can also select dietery preferences. You know, just in case you bring your vegan date to a paleo restaurant. 

Because what would be more awkward than that?!

Tinder is an undeniably useful app. And we would be totally lying if we said that we are (along with all our other single friends) getting in on that swipe action. 

But what would you do if you came across a bona fide celebrity?

Well, you would swipe right obviously. Wouldn't you?

According to the Sun, this was the exact dilemma faced by some unsuspecting singletons who stumbled across Graham Norton's profile while browsing through the popular dating app. 

The reports stated that the Cork man's profile included pics of the chat show host on holidays and another where he is clad from head to toe in biker gear. 

Good on you, Graham. 

The 52-year-old is newly single following the end of his relationship with his music marketing consultant beau, Andrew Smith, who he was seeing since the end of last year. 

Judging from a recent interview on BBC Radio 2, it would seem that Graham is not that particularly fussed about being in a relationship.

"You have your own rules as you get older. I would prefer to live alone for the rest of my life rather than live with towels that were folded incorrectly."

"Petty is important. That’s why marriages break up. Marriages don’t break up because of big things."

So maybe he is just dabbling on Tinder to see what all the fuss is about? Or even better, maybe he is on it to give his loyal viewers a hilarious gag in an upcoming episode of his chat show. 

We live in hope!

As it turns out, all of the hours you spent trying to take the perfect selfie for your Tinder profile was actually quite pointless; you should have been fussing over your name.

The Grade voted and ranked the hottest names on social media dating apps – based on how many swipe rights they receive – and guys think some names are way sexier than others. 

Now we know you can't change your name (unless you want to catfish someone), but if you want to find out who has a bit of an edge over you, here are the women's names that came out on top:

1. Brianna

2. Erika

3. Lexi

4. Brooke

5. Vanessa

6. April

7. Natalie

8. Jenna

9. Molly

10. Katie

And what guys names came out on top, you ask?

1. Brett

2. Tyler

3. Corey

4. Andy

5. Noah

6. Shane

7. Jeffery

8. Rob

9. Frank

10. Jeff

Now, we don't know any Brett's or Jeffery's but we sure need to find some now!
